Yeah, I think I feel the same as a few others here in that I actually felt the game didn't need a sequel after the first. But then I loved part 2 (probably helped that mechanically it was top tier, and it absolutely got everything it could out of the PS4) and felt the same at the end where it didn't need a part 3!
I definitely think part 1 is my favourite, I've never replayed part 2 whereas I've played part 1 on PS4, PS5 and on PC.
